TURKISH VALIDITY AND RELIABILITY STUDY OF THE SOCIAL HEALTH SCALE

Abstract

Objective: The study aims to establish the validity and reliability of the Social Determinants of Health Scale in Turkish. Material and Methods: The study sample consisted of 434 university students, with data collection accomplished using the Social Health Scale. The research employed exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, and correlation analyses. The validity and reliability of the scale, values for CR, AVE, and Cronbach Alpha were calculated. Results: Exploratory factor analysis results indicated that the Social Health Scale consists of four distinct dimensions: general social health, risky social behaviors, economic dimension, and isolation. The structure validity and model fit values of the scale were determined to be satisfactory. Conclusion: The results of the study confirmed the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Social Health Scale, which comprises 14 items and four dimensions. This tool may be used to evaluate the social health levels of university students.
